It is still in the 20's at night so I still consider that winter. There is still snow/ice on all the mt. roads. I should be done soon. I will need some warmer weather for painting the tub. My make shift paint booth doesn't hold the heat very well. The fender is ready to paint, so all I need to do is fix the dents/holes in the tub and prep it for paint. Yea!! my least favorite part of projects.....bodywork!!

I am trying to decide what paint scheme to go with. I have blue and silver paint left from the bike that I plan on using. I am trying to decide if I should go with a matching scheme or I also thought about going with a blue and silver camo pattern or something weird. I also thought about just painting the tub all silver so that If I ever mounted it on a different bike it would have a good chance of not clashing. Any thoughts?

awesome trip didnt want to come home
as for the trees
i bought a set on ebay and made a fixture to mount them in
i cut the bottom around the stem moved the jig out 5 degrees and re welded it
on the top i mounted it in the mill upside down at 5 degrees and milled it off flat also over board the center hole so it can be tightened down
i have pics and can talk you through it
way better than spending 600.00 bucks and it is an awesome upgrade for not much cash

Well here she is in all her glory..haha. I rode it a little last night but it needs some adjustments. I don't know what i did when I put it back together after paint but now it pulls to the right and has a bad wobble. It didn't do that before so I must have not put it back together with the same setup. I think I need to play with the lean out and toe in.

I bet the paint is too heavy. ahahaha! I actually think I figured out what the problem is. I adjusted the toe in when I reassembled it. In doing this I moved the sidecar farther away from the bike without adjusting my struts. This gave me a bunch of lean-in instead of lean-out. This is just my theory. Does that sound like a possibility.
